Billy Dunn Claims Second Consecutive Mohawk Raceway Championship and Frenchie’s 358 Modified Championship With Dominating Performance

This past weekend was on of epic proportions for Billy Dunn. He was very much in championship contention at both Mohawk Raceway and Canandaigua Motorsports Park and was looking to capture his second straight track championship at MIR and his first ever title at Canandaigua.

Going into Friday night’s events at Mohawk Raceway, Dunn carried a 19 point advantage in the battle for the track title. After a win in his qualifying heat race, Dunn added a couple more points to his advantage. In the 50 lap main event, Dunn rolled off the starting grid from the 12th position and quickly moved forward. The first caution of the race came on lap four and Dunn had already maneuvered his Laurent Ladouceur owned car to the sixth position. Just a few laps later he was up to second, and he charged to the top spot as they completed lap 14. For the remainder of the event Dunn set a blistering pace, lapping up to the eighth place car before a late race caution regrouped the field with just five laps remaining. When the race resumed, Dunn was never challenged, and went on to win for the seventh time in 2013 at Mohawk Raceway.

“It has been a lot of fun driving for Laurent Ladouceur and the Mr. Rad team”, says Dunn from victory lane at MIR. “We have had a great season, and I look forward to returning one more time in 2013 for the 358 Series race”.

After securing his championships at Mohawk Raceway, Dunn’s attention soon switched to the battle at Canandaigua Motorsports Park in his own Number One Speed sponsored Big Block Modified. With just 5 points to make up, and double points on the line, it was going to close battle all night long. Dunn scored a top five finish in the 35 lap feature, but came up just a few points short in the battle for the track title.

The action continued on Sunday for the Stars & Stripes 100 at Rolling Wheels Raceway. This was the next round on the Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series. Dunn won his qualifying heat race and was running inside the top five when rain came on lap 24, postponing the remaining 76 laps until, Tuesday, October 8th, kickoff Super DIRT Week.

This coming weekend, Dunn will be at Autodrome Drummond in Quebec for the next Super DIRTcar Series event on Saturday night. Billy is currently 4th overall in the Super DIRTcar Series point standings.

Billy Dunn would like to thank Number One Speed, FastLube of Watertown, Finger Lakes Auto Machine, Glen A. Gould Estate Construction, Frosty’s Ice Cream, and Bicknell Racing Products for their continued support for the 2013 racing season. He would also like to thank Laurent Ladouceur and the Mr. Radiator Race team for the opportunity to race their 358 Modified at Mohawk Raceway on Friday nights.
